Ask HN: What's a fair price for an "app" website, and related blog?
I was thinking that both the app page and the blog could be done with Wordpress. So essentially, the work involved would be:
- designing a custom theme
- configure Wordpress so that I can easily upload new content to the main page (e.g. banner and feature parts) and blog (posts)
- configure the e-commerce solution
I'm interested in knowing a ballpark figure for a) the design and b) the implementation of such a site.For reference, I've been quoted a price between 450 EUR and 1500 EUR ($600 to $2050, depending on time taken) only for the design, for each of the blog and site (i.e. twice the that range for total!). I think that's a bit steep, but it's the first time I've commissioned design, so I don't have a good reference point. At that price, I would have done all the Wordpress configuration myself, since it's not really that hard.
UPDATE: I had the wrong figures for quoted price.
Many thanks in advance!
